Technical Support FAQs

What browsers are supported?

Our website is optimized for the following browsers (latest two versions):

The website is loading slowly. What can I do?

If you're experiencing slow loading times, try these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Clear your browser's cache and cookies
  2. Check your internet connection speed
  3. Disable browser extensions that might be interfering
  4. Try using our mobile app instead of the browser version

If problems persist after trying these steps, please contact our technical support team at support@dailychronicle.com with details about your device, browser, and connection type.

Why am I being asked to log in repeatedly?

Frequent login prompts may occur due to:

  • Browser cookies being cleared automatically or manually
  • Using private/incognito browsing mode
  • Having reached the device limit for your subscription
  • Security settings that prevent persistent logins

To stay logged in longer:

  1. Make sure cookies are enabled in your browser
  2. Check the "Remember me" box when signing in
  3. Use standard browsing mode rather than private/incognito
  4. Sign out of devices you no longer use

For security reasons, you will periodically be required to log in again, even with "Remember me" selected.
